SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- A powerful but simple Rashi method is the CITATION or CROSS- REFERENCING of an OTHER VERSE for the purpose of adding FURTHER DETAILS to a verse we are studying. We call this the OTHER VERSE method. There are three submethods to the OTHER VERSE method. If the verse actually CITES or refers to an OTHER VERSE we call this the SUBMETHOD of CITATION. If the OTHER VERSE explains the meaning of some term in the first verse we call this the SUBMETHOD of MEANING. If the first verse does not cite an other verse and if no meaning is explained then we call this the SUBMETHOD of FURTHER DETAILS since the 2nd verse either confirms the first verse or typically adds FURTHER DETAILS to the first verse EXAMPLE 1: Lv08-09a ------------------- Verse Lv08-09 states ---------------------------------------------- He placed the TURBAN on his head and placed...the Tzitz on the TURBAN ---------------------------------------------- Rashi clarifies the relationship between the TURBAN and TZITZ with OTHER VERSES which supply FURTHER DETAILS Both Ex39-30:31 and Ex28-36:37 state -------------------------------------- The Tzitz is held by Azure threads; these Azure threads fold over the Turban -------------------------------------- EXAMPLE 2:Lv10-14a Lv10-12c --------------------------- In Lv10-14 Moses tells Aaron ------------------------------------ Consume the WAIVED BREAST in a pure place ------------------------------------ Rashi CROSS REFERENCES the OTHER VERSE, Lv09 particularly Lv09-18:21 which discusses the consecration offerings---one of which was a Peace offering. In other words, Rashi simply explains that the WAIVED BREAST refers to the WAIVED BREAST of the PEACE OFFERING of the CONSECRATION OFFERING. Rashi could justify this by cross referencing the OTHER VERSE Lv07-28:34 which describes how the BREASTS of PEACE OFFERINGS are WAIVED but not offered on the altar but rather given to the Priest. Similarly In Lv10-12 Moses tells Aaron --------------------------- Consume the MINCHAH remains --------------------------- Rashi CROSS REFERENCES the OTHER VERSE, Lv09 particularly Lv09-17 which discusses the consecration offerings---one of which was a Minchah offering. In other words, Rashi simply explains that the MINCHAH refers to the MINCAH OFFERING of the CONSECRATION OFFERING Further CROSS REFERENCES and other RASHI COMMENTS are presented in the footnotes to LIST210w.

*1 There is a subtlety in this Rashi. Verse Ex23-24 states ------------------------------------------------ - Dont bow to THEIR(the nation's) gods - Dont worship THEM (the gods) - Rather demolish THEM (who?The nations?or their gods?) - break THEIR (the nation's) monument altars ------------------------------------------------ Rashi's point is indicated in the parenthetical comments The DEMOLISH command refers to DEMOLISH the IDOLS not DEMOLISH the NATIONS! *2 Actually Ex24-01:02 states ---------------------------------------- the rest of you bow from afar and Moses alone will go up without the nation ---------------------------------------- This almost totally parallels Ex20-18 which states ---------------------------------------- The nation stood afar and Moses approached the dark cloud where God was ---------------------------------------- *3 Rashi ALSO mentions the ORDINANCES of Shabbath, Noachides and Honoring ones parents. The MAIN driving force behind Rashi in interpreting Ex24-03 is the OTHER VERSE method. The OTHER VERSE method could also refer to Ex16-28:29 which mentions the Sabbath. I simply chose the MAIN OTHER VERSE Ex15-25 that also mentions ORDINANCES. *4 (Rashi)HUNT and AMBUSH are simply two good examples of PREMEDITATION. The Torah distinguishes the treatment of a PREMEDITATED murder from a NEGLIGENT murder. *5 Sifsay Chachamim cracks a joke on Ex29-29 -------------------------------------------- to ANNOINT (by oil) IN THEM (= the clothes) -------------------------------------------- Lv21-10 makes it clear that the OIL is poured on the PRIESTS HEAD. But, the WEARING of HIGH PRIEST CLOTHES is also a requirement for the HIGH PRIEST induction. Rashi further explains ----------------------------------------------- Annointing is RELATED to SOCIETAL APPOINTMENT and hence ANNOINT IN THE CLOTHES could easily be a pun--POUR OIL ON HEAD and GET APPOINTED by wearing the High Priest clothes ----------------------------------------------- *6 Lv07 states that the owners of Peace offerings eat the peace offerings. However Lv07-34 states that THE PRIEST RECEIVES THE WAIVED BREAST and THE RAISED SHOULDER. This illuminates the phrase in Ex29-28 ------------------------------------------ It is a statute FOR the priests FROM the Jews ------------------------------------------- That is, although the Jewish owners eat their sacrifice nevertheless part of it goes to the priests. Ex29-28 mentions that the GIFT IS A RAISING But Lv07-34 states that BOTH - the WAIVED BREAST - the RAISED SHOULDER are priestly gifts. Hence the RAISING in Ex29-28 refers to both the BREAST/SHOULDER. *7 Lv05-16 and Lv05-18 have almost identical words Hence we can use the ALIGNMENT WORD MEANING method also. However the OTHER VERSE method suffices here. *8 Both Ex39-30:31 and Ex28-36:37 speak about ----------------------------------------- The Tzitz is held by Azure threads; these Azure threads fold over the Turban ------------------------------------------ | ||||
|
||||
*10 Rashi brings further OTHER VERSES - Lv07-34 tells us that Priests eat BREASTS of all Peace offerings - Lv07-07:11 tells us that Priests eat REMAINS of all Minchah offerings Rashi further explains why a law which is known GENERALLY (Priests consume BREASTS and MINCHAH) has to be repeated for the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS. ------------------------------------------------ Since the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS were ONE TIME communal offerings with several differences from other offerings of the same type therefore the Bible had to explicitly reiterate that procedures traditionally done to these offerings were also done to the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS despite their unusual nature ------------------------------------------------ *11 Rashi also mentions the MINCHAH offering of Nachshon (Nu07-13) which was also brought on the same day as the consecration offerings when the temple was erected (Nu07-01). The details of how we know that the CONSECRATION offerings happened on the same day as the PRINCE OFFERINGS (Nu07) is discussed on http://www.Rashiyomi.com/lv09-01a.htm |

SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashi's 10 main goals is to explain Grammar the same way Hebrew textbooks explain Grammar. One grammar method that overlaps with word meaning is the NOUN-VERB-ADJ-TRANSFORMS method. This method studies how words can change from OBJECTS (noun) to ACTIVITIES (verbs) to ATTRIBUTES (adjective). EXAMPLE 1: To MAKE FORMAL ------------------------- Rashi uncovered three ways for nouns to become verbs-- (a) to REMOVE the noun (e.g. to DUST) (b) to CREATE the noun (e.g. to FLOWER) (c) to USE the noun in the traditional manner it is used (e.g. to HAMMER) The Hebrew word Cheth-Teth-Aleph means to be SLOPPY, to MISS the mark (as in archers missing the mark).Hence it refers to sin thru negligence. The verb form TO SLOPPIIZE would mean TO REMOVE SLOPPINESS...to MAKE FORMAL. just as TO DUST means to REMOVE THE DUST. LIST050d studies other words whose meaning changes due to shift in grammatical function | ||

|

*10 Abstract State *11 Nu31-03b *13 Gn13-12a *14 Rashi (Gn33-14d Gn33-14e) analyzes the word FOOTPACE as follows - FEET describe objects (NOUNS) - WALKING is the STANDARD ACTIVITY of the FEET(Verb) - PACE is the SPEED of walking(Adverbial description of HOW FAST the walk is taking place). Note: PACE itself is a noun but it functions adverbially as describing how fast the walk is. *15 Technically - The Hebrew root Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH - PATH is an OBJECT (Noun) - When made into an ATTRIBUTE (Adjective) - Aleph-Resh-Ceth means PATH-PEOPLE--a CARAVAN *16 Gn50-23a *17 Gn49-24c *18 Ex09-31c *19 Ex28-31b. The verse --------------------------- Make the coat ALL-ALL blue --------------------------- means ------------------------------- make it EXCLUSIVELY/WHOLLY BLUE ------------------------------- *20 Ex30-07a *21 Lv08-15a (Note that the verb TO SLOPPIIZE is parallel to the verb TO SANCTIFY. Both have a connotation of a FORMAL atmosphere). |

RASHIS COVERED: Lv06-02b Lv07-08a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04 | ||
SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis 10 main tasks is to explain GRAMMAR the same way modern Hebrew books explain GRAMMAR. We call this the Rashi GRAMMAR rule. Rashi had three broad sub-rules in explaining GRAMMAR (1) A major component of Hebrew GRAMMAR are the rules governing conjugations of VERBS, or HEBREW ROOTS. There are 7 grammatical modes with half a dozen parameters: tense, person, gender, plurality, connective words... (2) Another component of GRAMMAR deals with PREFIXES-SUFFIXES and other letters, or small words, that indicate changes in meanings.This PREFIX-SUFFIX subrule includes the rules governing the rules of plural, gender, pronouns etc. We are still making discoveries of PREFIX-SUFFIX rules today. (3) Finally a more advanced part of GRAMMAR deals with the rules of entire SENTENCES. The SENTENCE rules includes the rules governing sentence order, apposition, and compound sentences Today we deal with the following rule governing PRONOUN EMPHASIS. - A single letter suffix/prefix pronoun does not indicate emphasis - a full-word pronoun does indicate unspecified emphasis. It should be translated as ONLY IT. - This rule especially holds when the pronoun is redundant (The verse reads fine without it) In such a case the pronoun connotes unspecified emphasis. Example 1: Lv06-02b ------------------- Lv06-02 states as follows ---------------------------- These are the GUIDELINES of the UP offering...ONLY IT is the UP offering that is offered on the altar fire... ----------------------------- The Hebrew pronoun IT is unnecessary (The verse could have said ----------------------------- These are the guidelines of the UP OFFERING that is offered on the altar fire ----------------------------- ) The pronoun IT creates UNSPECIFIED emphasis. Some type of INVALID UP offering is excluded from being placed on the altar (Even if the priests erroneously began to offer it) Rashi following the Talmud picks the worst case Someone committed bestiality with the animal so it should not have been offered. If the Priests began to offer it then we arent allow to continue and place it on the altar. NOTE: Rashi's explanation is NOT intrinsic to the verse. Rashi's explanation is based on Talmudic logic. But the verse does say something...it says ONLY IT..this connotes an UNSPECIFIED emphasis and is the simple meaning of the verse. EXAMPLE 2: Lv07-08a ------------------- Lv07-08 states -------------------------- The SKIN of the UP offering shall belong TO the priest offering it ONLY TO HIM will it be --------------------------- Note the unnecesary redundant pronoun(The verse could have said ---------------------------------------- shall belong to the priest offering it ---------------------------------------- The extra pronoun ONLY TO HIM WILL IT BE creates UNSPECIFIED emphasis. Rashi uses it to exclude impure priests (We know from Lv22-03:06 that impure priests may not eat from the offerings...Rashi here teaches that even if most of the impurity is removed (eg he immersed in water) he still cannot eat from the offering.) Here Rashi makes the inference of particular emphasis from OTHER VERSES. LIST706a below summarizes this rule. | ||

List of verses with OTHO/HU meaning ONLY IT | |||
VERSE | TEXT OF VERSE | INTERPRETATION OF EMPHASIS | |
Lv01-03c | Offer it as a 1 year male*1 | Even if 2 animals were mixed | |
Lv01-03c | Bring ONLY IT to the temple | But not if animals were mixed | |
-------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------- | |
Lv01-09a | IT is an UP offering | Intent is necessary*2 | |
Lv05-09b | IT is a SIN offering | Intent is necessary*2 | |
Lv05-12a | IT is a SIN offering | Intent is necessary*2 | |
-------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------- | |
Lv06-02c | ONLY IT is an UP offering | but not BESTIALITY animals*10 | |
Lv07-08a | Give To the PRIEST-ONLY HIM | but not ritually impure *3 | |
|
|||
*1 Note that the two clauses in Lv01-03 CONTRAST - the first clause uses the pronoun IT - the 2nd clause uses the pronoun ONLY it Thus there is a simultaneous requirement of emphasis and non-emphasis. Here is a plausable way to implement these two requirements - If the animals of Abe and Bob got mixed up then we still make the offering even though we dont know who is the true owner - If however a kosher offering was mixed with a non-kosher offering (e.g. the animal had a blemish) then you can't offer either animal because ONLY the Kosher offering can be offered *2 My opinion is that Rashi used the OTHER VERSE method to infer the emphasis. - We have seen in LIST705b that offerings have to be slaugthered with proper intent That is you must slaughter them for the sake of an offering. - So the current verses tell us that this proper intent is a NECESSARY REQUIREMENT: Without it the offering is invalid. So if you slaughtered animals for the sake of food you cant offer them. *3 Notice the emphasis ---------------------------- Give it TO the priest--[ONLY]TO him ---------------------------- There are several ways to articulate this emphasis - the noun and pronoun are both there (Redundancy) TO THE PRIEST--TO HIM - a whole WORD TO HIM (LO) was used vs. a prefix LETTER (TO the priest) In identifying the PARTICULARS of the emphasis (the verse only indicates emphasis but does not tell us how to interpret it) we use Lv22-03:06 which states that impure people may not eat from the offerings (Rashi adds here that the emphasis applies even if the purity procedure is 90% done (eg he immersed in water)--still the priest cannot eat till totally pure | |||
|
|||
*10 We see here an interesting blend of Biblical exegesis and Talmudic Hermeunetics - Biblically the extra word simply gives EMPHASIS-- ONLY THIS OFFERING//ONLY THE PRIEST - The PARTICULARS of the emphasis are not given - We can infer the PARTICULARS of the emphasis either from OTHER VERSES or logic. In this verse the PARTICULARS are as follows ----------------------------------------------- - ONLY THIS OFFERING can be offered on the altar ----------------------------------------------- Rashi excludes e.g. animals with whom bestiality has been performed since this is a serious blemish which would invalidate the animal BEFORE the offering procedure started Therefore if some priests STARTED the offering procedure with such an animal they may NOT continue. Again Rashi's example is derived THRU logic and a consideration of alternative exclusions.Rashis point is NOT intrinsic to the verse. All the verse tells us is NON SPECIFIC emphasis--ONLY THIS UP OFFERING--without telling us which one. This is an important point in understanding these Rashis. |

VERSE: Lv08-03a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04 | ||
SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi will frequentlly make a comment by making broad database inquiries. A database inquiry is simply a question addressed to a large databank---typically a large collection of verses. Thus DATABASE methods typically span many diverse verses. EXAMPLE Lv08-03a ---------------- Today we ask the query ---------------------------------- Where does a verse seem to indicate that a small space/amount accomodated a large amount of items or people ---------------------------------- Obviously such a query is so to speak just for fun.' Rashi lists one of them A rather more complete list comes from the Midrash Leviticus Rabbah. The following are good examples ------------------------------------------------------- VERSE SMALL SPACE HELD LARGE ... ---------- --------------- ---------------------------- Lv08-03 Temple door nation Ex09-08:09 Handful of soot Spread over Egypt Ex18-13 Moses tent Whole nation asks questions Nu20-08:10 The rock Whole nation congregates to Rock Jr03-17 Jerusalem Whole world will gather there ------------------------------------------------------ Of course the Midrash is 'just for fun' and many of these verses have obvious explanations. For example Ex18-13 doesn't mean that all 600,000 Jews came to Moses tent every day; rather it means that Jews from all walks of life barged into the tent at all times. Similarly Jr03-17 doesn't mean that the whole world will assemble over Jerusalem at one point of time-- rather it means that Jerusalem will be the focal point--the metropolis--of the world.
